Fabulous Friday Fish and Chips in Northcote

It being the holiday season, the normal fish and chippery is closed, but fortunately there is a reliable stand-by locally.

This shop has a milk bar in the front section and take-away food at the back. The proprietors also sell some small home-made Asian food items.

Blue grenadier (battered) $4.80

Potato cakes $0.80

Crumbed calamari rings (pre-formed) $0.80

Minimum chips $3.00

It was a generously sized moist and succulent piece of fish, and the potato cakes and chips were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. All the batter was a lovely golden colour and there was no sense of oiliness. The calamari rings were also nicely cooked and tasty. The serve of chips was big enough to share.

The fish and chips are consistently good and the service prompt, polite and friendly.
